I tried to use Thinkpad after sales, but found it frustrating as Lenovo wanted to service only my computer, but not the operating system or any of the software. It is nearly impossible for a non-techie to differentiate from one to another when there is a major tech problem.

While my Lenovo Thinkpad was the best computer I ever owned, it suddenly failed to fully start-up and load this past Friday; I have no idea if it is a Vista failure or a hard-drive failure, though I would have to fork over a chunk of money to even have that determined, before I decide if it will be worth it to do further troubleshooting (hardware = $ and software = free reloading of it).

I must say that I have already brought my Apple back in for Genius support twice, given there is an Apple store 4 blocks away. For my Lenovo, I would have to send it away or pay big bucks at Geek Squad. Alas, this is not easy to navigate . . .
